CLEVELAND (AP) — A new exhibit focusing on the link between rock music and politics will open at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland prior to the Republican National Convention scheduled for July.

The Louder Than Words: Rock, Power and Politics exhibit will open Friday. WJW-TV (http://bit.ly/1sr9qYh) reports the exhibit will look at important political debates in the nation “through the lens of rock music.”

Interviews with Bono, Gloria Estefan, Gregg Allman and President Jimmy Carter are among those featured in the exhibit highlighting political topics that have affected the nation. Some of those topics include civil rights, war and political campaigns.

The exhibit will run through Nov. 27th at the Rock Hall. It will then move to the Newseum in Washington, D.C to open January 13, 2017.
